Posted March 5, 2015 I'm trying to think of excuses for when the boss appears behind me. These are what I've come up with so far.Oh no, some weird medieval virus has taken over my computer!I'm in a virtual conference. Those trolls are from Marketing.This is a special company project. That's all I'm allowed to say.I'm on my lunch break. HR said I could take it now, because of my bowel problem.What do you think of our new recruitment strategy?Let me finish these hand-eye coordination exercises that Occupational Health recommended.I'm testing new products in a virtual environment.
